Yeti 500X stops charging and turns off the outlets
I have been using a Yeti 500X for some time now and I've not had a problem like this before. Currently have a WiFi access point plugged into a 120V outlet on the front of the Yeti. It has been fine for months and now we lose WiFi all of a sudden. I go to the Yeti and the usual blinking charging light is not blinking but always on and the outlet the WiFi access point is plugged into is turned off. All I have to do is unplug the Yeti and plug is back in to get the flashing charging light and I can turn the outlet on again. SUPER ANNOYING.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure out why this happens? My Yeti 1500 does the same thing. I keep it plugged in charging 24/7 and the 120v output is plugged into a transfer switch and runs a small cabin. Works great for weeks/months but then randomly the 120v outlet output just turns off. And that’s even with 100% charge and no rain or extreme temperatures. It just happened at 3am and I had to go around to the utility room to push the button and restore power. Annoying.

I contacted support and they asked me to send it back. I did that about two weeks ago and noticed a shipping notification that the new one is coming in 2 days. I would recommend you do the same. I seriously believe they have a manufacturing issue.
